I’m so sorry to have spoiled what was such an important discussion on racism tonight. I had to intervene when Gary suggested the two main political parties were to blame - I didn’t make that clear enough. For that I apologise unreservedly.

I would never purposefully shut down a discussion on racism. I’ve worked for Sky for over 20 years and know they share my view that racism of any kind should not be tolerated. That is not a debate. And that’s why I’m so very disappointed and sorry tonight.

Just want to say big thank you to the Uber driver who went from door to door on a busy London street yesterday to find me in a restaurant, after I’d left my wallet in his car without realising. Some people are just nice.

Newcastle - if you want to “sell your house” no you don’t spend £60m on it . but if you really want to sell it you might think about lowering the asking price. It’s not rocket science.

The Premier League have just confirmed to us that head to head is only considered at the end of the season and that Chelsea are on top only on alphabetical order … 🤷♂️.
For those nerds who are wondering why Chelsea are top of the #PremierLeague even though they have identical numbers to Liverpool. It’s not alphabetical. Goes down to head to head and the fact that Chelsea scored an away goal in the draw at Anfield #cfc #lfc.

#SAFC have announced that |@DavidJonesSky has joined the club as a non-executive director. Tom Sloanes, commercial director at GVC group, joins in the same role .(Pending EFL approval).

Flicking through the papers reading referees disagreeing with each other about the penalty/first goal at Anfield . what chance has anyone else got if they aren’t clear on the rules? This is an issue that goes beyond VAR. #liverpool #ManCity.

Spot on @GNev2 and well done to @Everton for giving their blessing - so easy for clubs these days to keep saying no because they’re frightened of negative press.
Well done to @CalvertLewin14 for going on MNF. Live TV , no script and for a current player to put themselves in that position takes some guts. He’s speaking well and really relaxed. ( even though I’m sure he’s a bit nervous ) . Looks the part too. Hope more do it. 💙.

He doesn’t speak for me and he doesn’t speak for the board, which he isn’t actually on. I don’t recall anyone trying to get rid of the owners when we were 7th, people were supportive of Bob Murray, Drumaville and Ellis Short before he lost his love for it. 😡.

This puts all those trivialities into context. The most crushing, heartbreaking news imaginable for Simon and his family. Gemma was just the most delightful girl. Simon and his family will need all our love and support.
Today I am crushed with indescribable pain. Just three days after falling ill with Acute Myloid Leukaemia, my dear wife Gemma passed away yesterday evening surrounded by her family and friends. If you are a prayer - pray for my boy Ethan. 8yrs, precious and in bits. Thank you.

It’s been an AMAZING journey, but now it’s time to bow out of @SkySportsDarts.22 years on Sky, nearly 10 years with #Parkinsons .Brilliant memories, brilliant people. Just stopping doing the live darts . NOT giving up on life. 100% my decision x

With a heavy heart I have to say I am unable to play for the remainder of the season due to injury, I would like to thank the manager the players and the fantastic fans. I wish you all the best and will be supporting you all the way. Ha’way the lads @SunderlandAFC ❤️.

I don’t think @tomsafc or @DavidJonesSky warrant some of the abuse put towards them by some. Both are huge #safc fans who’ve real affiliation & affection for club. They’ve come on board with genuine good intentions & will do as much as their roles allow them to do, no doubt!!.
